from Bob Condor of NHL.com,
The NHL is looking to establish a new rule against blind-side hits to the head as soon as possible, but any change for the rest of the regular season or playoffs would involve possible supplemental discipline but would not involve on-ice officials calling a minor or major penalty.
“A penalty call on the ice [based on any new rule] would be a difficult thing to consistently administer at this time,” said Colin Campbell, the NHL’s Senior Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations, during an appearance on NHL Live! radio.
The alternative measure would be for any potential violation to be reviewed by Campbell and his Hockey Operations staff. Any questionable play would involve “a lateral, back pressure or blind-side hit to an opponent where the head is targeted and/or the principal point of contact is not permitted.”
